Funded by the Ford Foundation, this program developed and implemented a model university-community partnership that created a culturally sustainable, mixed-income community in Pilsen. The model, Community Futures, emphasized participation of long-time Pilsen residents and youth. OCENHP worked with two established organizations in Pilsen: The Resurrection Project (TRP), a faith-based community development corporation, and the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum (MFACM), a nationally acclaimed museum.
